Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation

On conventional cab and club cab models, the power locks can be controlled by a two-way switch integral to the power window and lock switch and bezel unit on the trim panel of each front door. On quad cab models, the power locks can be controlled by a two-way switch integral to the power window and lock switch and bezel unit on the driver side front door trim panel, or a two-way single gang switch on the passenger side front door trim panel.

The power lock switches control the battery feeds to the lock and unlock sense inputs of the high-line Central Timer Module (CTM). The CTM then relays the correct battery and ground feeds to the power lock motors. A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the paddle of each switch is illuminated whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position.

On all models, the driver side power window and lock switch and bezel unit cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire switch unit must be replaced. On conventional cab and club cab models, the passenger side power window and lock switch and bezel unit cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire switch and bezel unit must be replaced. On quad cab models, the passenger side power lock switch cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the single gang switch unit must be replaced.
